And, engine control portion 120, this target throttle valve tatgt that the target throttle valve calculating part 111 based on forming target control amount calculating part 110 calculates, carries out the output of driving engine 10 and controls.Engine control portion 120, with the current actual throttle opening being detected by engine load sensor 55, become mode from the target throttle valve tatgt of target throttle valve calculating part 111 input, with current actual throttle opening ta, converge the mode of target throttle valve tatgt, the driving of the electronic throttle device 40 of control engine 10, controls the output of obtaining from driving engine 10 (motor torque, engine speed).
Operating point detection unit 112 is judged the state of the operating point of driving engine 10.The operating point of this driving engine 10 is determined according to motor torque and engine speed.The operating point detection unit 112 of present embodiment judges that the operating point of the current driving engine 10 corresponding with current motor torque and current engine speed is whether in best burnup band.
At this, Fig. 5 means the figure of the acting characteristic of the driving engine 10 that driving-force control apparatus 100 is controlled, using transverse axis as engine speed ne, using the longitudinal axis as motor torque te.In Fig. 5, solid line represents best burnup line L, and dotted line such as represents at burnup line E1, E2, the E3, P1 such as output line such as single-point line expressions grade, P2, P3, P4, and long and two-short dash line represents the best burnup band upper limit Lmax of best burnup band X, best burnup lower limit Lmin.
Best burnup line L is can be with the set of the operating point of the driving engine 10 of best burnup amount (high efficiency) running engine 10.That is, best burnup line L represents be burnup amount best, can be with the motor torque te of best engine efficiency (efficiency of internal combustion engine) running engine 10 and the relation of engine speed ne.At this, said burnup amount refers to the fuel discharge of per unit acting amount, and the distance that can travel with unit of fuel amount with the vehicle 1 enforcement necessary fuel quantity of unit distance or vehicle 1 is suitable.Namely, best burnup line L, based on allowing engine speed ne and the motor torque te that can make to be equipped with the distance priority ground running engine 10 that the vehicle 1 of driving engine 10 travels with unit of fuel amount set, determines according to the output characteristic of driving engine 10.
And the best burnup band X that best burnup line L is set as benchmark sets the region with respect to best burnup line L with regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha for, upper limit Lmax forms the upper limit of best burnup band X, and lower limit Lmin forms the lower limit of best burnup band X.Best burnup band X, as the reduction of the distance that can travel with respect to best burnup line L, be that the reduction of burnup amount and the region in the corresponding specialized range of regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha are set.This regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha such as if the inhibition that while considering running, the inhibition of chaufeur sense of discomfort or burnup amount reduce etc. according to the scope that makes their set up simultaneously, suitably set.The best burnup band X of present embodiment has preset the regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha with respect to best burnup line L, for example, as the burnup amount with respect to best burnup line L, be reduced to 5% and be set with interior region.In addition, in other embodiment described later, this regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha, in other words, best burnup band X can change according to the state of vehicle 1.
In addition, etc. burnup line E1, E2, E3, be the operating point of the driving engine 10 that burnup amount (efficiency of driving engine 10) is equal.In the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10, be the combination of motor torque and engine speed on burnup line E1, E2, the E3 such as identical, the burnup quantitative change of driving engine 10 must equate.It Deng output line P1, P2, P3, P4, is the set of the operating point of the equal driving engine 10 of the output (power) of driving engine 10.In the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10, be that the combination of motor torque and engine speed is positioned on output line P1, P2, P3, the P4 such as identical, the output of driving engine 10 (power) becomes equal.
And operating point detection unit 112 is from the current motor torque te of driving engine 10 inputs and current engine speed ne.Operating point detection unit 112 is according to obtaining current engine speed ne from the detection signal of crank angle sensor 57 inputs.In addition, operating point detection unit 112 is according to obtaining current motor torque te from being installed on the detection signal of the various sensor inputs of driving engine 10.Operating point detection unit 112 is such as long as obtain current motor torque te based on engine speed ne or air amount amount (being fuel injection amount the diesel motor in the situation that) etc. by various known methods.
Operating point detection unit 112 judges that the operating point of the current driving engine 10 corresponding with inputted current motor torque te and current engine speed ne is whether in best burnup band X.Operating point detection unit 112 by the operating point of current driving engine 10 whether the result of determination in best burnup band X export to conciliation portion 113.
The result of determination of conciliation portion 113 based on from 112 inputs of operating point detection unit, to mediating with accelerator open degree pap as the calculating of calculating the accelerator open degree pa of use.The calculating accelerator open degree pap that this conciliation portion 113 reconciles is accelerator open degree applicable when calculating target engine speed netgt by target engine speed calculating part 114 described later.Namely, target engine speed calculating part 114 described later calculates with accelerator open degree pap and calculates target engine speed netgt based on this.
Conciliation portion 113, in the situation that the operating point of the current driving engine 10 corresponding with current motor torque te and current engine speed ne is beyond best burnup band X, for example, in the situation that the operating point A that the operating point of current driving engine 10 is Fig. 5, the corresponding current accelerator open degree pa of detection signal with from accelerator open degree sensor 56 inputs is set as calculating and uses accelerator open degree pap, to 114 outputs of target engine speed calculating part.
On the other hand, conciliation portion 113, in the situation that the operating point of the current driving engine 10 corresponding with current motor torque te and current engine speed ne is in best burnup band X, for example, in the situation that the operating point B that the operating point of current driving engine 10 is Fig. 5, do not use the current accelerator open degree pa corresponding with the detection signal of inputting from accelerator open degree sensor 56, as the setting parameter that there is no the variation of accelerator open degree pa, calculate and use accelerator open degree pap, to 114 outputs of target engine speed calculating part.It is constant that conciliation portion 113 is for example calculated with accelerator open degree pap by maintenance, sets and calculates with accelerator open degree pap as the parameter that there is no the variation of accelerator open degree pa.Further, conciliation portion 113 is for example by the last value of accelerator open degree pap(for the calculating being stored in the last control cycle of storage part 51b) be set as the calculating accelerator open degree pap in this control cycle, as the setting parameter that there is no the variation of accelerator open degree pa, calculate and use accelerator open degree pap, this is calculated with accelerator open degree pap to 114 outputs of target engine speed calculating part.
Target engine speed calculating part 114 calculates target engine speed as change-speed box target control amount.The accelerator open degree (acceleration operation amount) of target engine speed calculating part 114 based on suitable to the operational ton of the propulsive effort requirement operation (acceleration request operation) of vehicle 1 with chaufeur, suitable to the requirement driving amount of vehicle 1 requirement with chaufeur, calculating target engine speed netgt.And then, particularly, target engine speed calculating part 114 carried out corresponding to the result of determination input of the operating point of current driving engine 10 the calculating accelerator open degree pap reconciling from 113 inputs of conciliation portion, speed of a motor vehicle spd from vehicle-wheel speed sensor 62 corresponding to detection signal input vehicle 1, calculates target engine speed netgt based on this calculating with accelerator open degree pap and speed of a motor vehicle spd.
The target engine speed calculating part 114 for example engine speed mapping graph m02 based on is as shown in Figure 6 asked calculation target engine speed netgt.The transverse axis of this engine speed mapping graph m02 represents speed of a motor vehicle spd, and the longitudinal axis represents engine speed ne.Engine speed mapping graph m02 has described the speed of a motor vehicle spd of each accelerator open degree pa and the relation of engine speed ne.In this engine speed mapping graph m02, engine speed ne increases along with the increase of accelerator open degree pa, along with the increase of speed of a motor vehicle spd, increases.Engine speed mapping graph m02 has preset the relation of speed of a motor vehicle spd, accelerator open degree pa and engine speed ne, is stored in storage part 51b.Target engine speed calculating part 114, based on this engine speed mapping graph m02, is asked and is calculated target engine speed netgt according to calculating with accelerator open degree pap, speed of a motor vehicle spd.Target engine speed calculating part 114 is exported the target engine speed netgt calculating to transmission control portion 130.
And this target engine speed netgt that the target engine speed calculating part 114 of transmission control portion 130 based on forming target control amount calculating part 110 calculates, carries out the variable speed control of change-speed box 3.Transmission control portion 130, so that the current actual engine speed being detected by crank angle sensor 57 becomes from the mode of the target engine speed netgt of target engine speed calculating part 114 input, becomes the mode of target engine speed netgt with current actual engine speed ne convergence, control the converter speed ratio (being gear for step change transmission in the situation that at change-speed box 3) of change-speed box 3.
Namely, target control amount calculating part 110, in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 is beyond best burnup band, actual accelerator open degree pa based on current, calculates as calculating the target throttle valve tatgt of combustion engine target control amount and as the target engine speed netgt both sides of change-speed box target control amount.With respect to this, target control amount calculating part 110, in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 is in best burnup band, actual accelerator open degree pa based on current, calculating is as the target throttle valve tatgt of combustion engine target control amount, on the other hand, be not the actual accelerator open degree pa based on current, but the accelerator open degree pa using in control cycle based on last calculate the target engine speed netgt as change-speed box target control amount.
The driving-force control apparatus 100 forming as described above, in the situation that the operating point that is determined current driving engine 10 by operating point detection unit 112 is beyond best burnup band, conciliation portion 113 sets current actual accelerator open degree pa as calculating and uses accelerator open degree pap, and target engine speed calculating part 114 is based on calculating target engine speed netgt as the calculating of this current actual accelerator open degree pa with accelerator open degree pap.Its result, driving-force control apparatus 100, in the situation that the operating point of current driving engine 10 is beyond best burnup band, target engine speed netgt that can the actual accelerator open degree pa change based on corresponding to current by transmission control portion 130, so that actual engine speed ne becomes the converter speed ratio that the mode of target engine speed netgt is controlled change-speed box 3, carry out variable speed control, carry out thus common variable speed control.
On the other hand, driving-force control apparatus 100, in the situation that the operating point that is determined current driving engine 10 by operating point detection unit 112 is in best burnup band, by conciliation portion 113, as calculating with accelerator open degree pap, set last value, calculating by target engine speed calculating part 114 based on this last time value is calculated target engine speed netgt with accelerator open degree pap, thus, in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 is in best burnup band, can be by target control amount calculating part 110 as the calculation of parameter target engine speed netgt that there is no the variation of accelerator open degree, in other words, target engine speed netgt can be remained to constant.Namely, driving-force control apparatus 100, in the situation that the operating point of current driving engine 10 is in best burnup band, can be as not having the parameter of the variation of accelerator open degree sensor 56 detected accelerator open degrees to calculate target engine speed.
Its result, driving-force control apparatus 100, in the situation that the operating point of current driving engine 10 is in best burnup band, target engine speed netgt by transmission control portion 130 based on being retained as constant, so that actual engine speed ne becomes the converter speed ratio that the mode of target engine speed netgt is controlled change-speed box 3, carry out variable speed control, thus, in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 is in best burnup band, can carry out the rotation change inhibition variable speed control being suppressed actual engine speed being remained to the change of this actual engine speed of constant.
Therefore, driving-force control apparatus 100 is owing to suppressing variable speed control in the situation that the operating point of current driving engine 10 is carried out the rotation change of the change that suppresses engine speed in best burnup band, so, in the situation that the operating point of current driving engine 10 is in best burnup band, can suppress unnecessary speed change, thereby suppress the rotation change of driving engine 10.Driving-force control apparatus 100 due in the situation that the operating point of current driving engine 10 in best burnup band, can suppress the rotation change of unnecessary driving engine 10, so, can suppress from best burnup line, to depart from the deterioration of the engine efficiency (efficiency of internal combustion engine) of caused driving engine 10 because of operating point, in the constant scope too much of deterioration of burnup amount, suppress the rotation change of driving engine 10, in other words the power waste that suppresses inertia (rotatory inertia) the torque part brought to the rotation change of change-speed box 3 along with input shaft, the fuel discharge that can suppress inertia torque part.
Its result, driving-force control apparatus 100 is due in the situation that suppress in the scope that the operating point of current driving engine 10 can too not worsen at the engine efficiency (burnup amount) of driving engine 10 in best burnup band to follow in the loss partly of the inertia torque of the rotation change of driving engine 10, so, for example with operating point with in predefined shift cable control speed change recently the situation of control engine rotating speed compare, efficiency on the whole of the drive system that can further improve vehicle 1, be burnup amount.In other words, driving-force control apparatus 100, even if the situation of drive system that can vehicle 1 while also having suppressed the loss of inertia torque part as how many deteriorations of engine efficiency at driving engine 10 efficiency on the whole, when the operating point of current driving engine 10 is in best burnup band, by inhibition, follow in the loss of the inertia torque part of the rotation change of driving engine 10 drive system that result can improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.Namely, driving-force control apparatus 100 is by suppressing variable speed control in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 is carried out the rotation change of the change that suppresses engine speed in best burnup band, can suppress to follow inertia (rotatory inertia) loss in driving engine 10 rotation changes while the deterioration that suppresses engine efficiency,, can suppress the deterioration of engine efficiency and inhibition simultaneously and follow in the inertia loss of the rotation change of driving engine 10, the drive system that can improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.
In addition, for example, by set regulation hysteresis amplitude with respect to accelerator open degree, not have the mode of the variation of accelerator open degree to keep accelerator open degree within the scope of this, make it to be reflected in and in the calculating of target engine speed (or target change gear ratio), keep target engine speed, thereby prevent that speed change is frequent, suppress operational situation and worsen, in this case, result driving engine 10 is also likely in the running of the operating point place of the poor operation range of engine efficiency.For example, after accelerator open degree reduces, the accelerator open degree of this reduction is in respect in the regulation hysteresis amplitude of above-mentioned accelerator open degree time, reduction along with accelerator open degree, throttle opening as the controlling quantity for control engine torque reduces, on the other side, the reduction of (target) engine speed and accelerator open degree has nothing to do and can remain constant.At this,, there is poor tendency of the relatively good engine efficiency in height rotation low-load region on the other hand of engine efficiency in low rotation high-load region in general driving engine.For this reason, as described above, reduction with respect to accelerator open degree, throttle opening reduces, and the operating point of driving engine moves to low-load region side, on the other hand, engine speed remains constant, the operating point of driving engine remains on high rotary area side, result, and driving engine also likely turns round on the operating point of the poor height rotation low-load region of engine efficiency.
With respect to this, the driving-force control apparatus 100 of present embodiment is not that accelerator open degree (or throttle opening etc.) self is arranged to hysteresis amplitude, and make the deterioration amount that engine efficiency is set best burnup line as benchmark be in the regulation hysteresis amplitude in specialized range, using this region as best burnup band, in the situation that in this best burnup band, carrying out the rotation change of the change that suppresses engine speed, the operating point of driving engine 10 suppresses variable speed control.Its result, the driving-force control apparatus 100 of present embodiment has for example prevented that driving engine 10 is in the poor height rotation low-load region running of engine efficiency as described above, in addition, can suppress the deterioration of engine efficiency and inhibition simultaneously and follow in the inertia loss of the rotation change of driving engine 10, thus the drive system that can improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.
In addition, driving-force control apparatus 100 is due to can be in the situation that the operating point of current driving engine 10 suppresses the rotation change of unnecessary driving engine 10 in best burnup band, so, suppressed N/R speed change, it is frequent that the frequency that suppresses speed change suppresses speed change, also can improve driveability.

On the other hand, driving-force control apparatus 300 in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 that is determined target by operating point detection unit 315 in best burnup band, by setting last value by conciliation portion 113 as target engine speed netgt, thereby in the situation that the operating point of the driving engine 10 of target, in best burnup band, can be calculated and be remained constant target engine speed netgt with last time value by target control amount calculating part 110.Namely, driving-force control apparatus 300 is in the situation that the operating point of the driving engine 10 of target, in best burnup band, can remain constant by target engine speed netgt.
Its result, driving-force control apparatus 300 in the situation that the operating point of the driving engine 10 of target in best burnup band, by transmission control portion 130, based on this, remain the target engine speed netgt of constant, so that actual engine speed ne becomes the mode of target engine speed netgt, control the speed change of change-speed box 3 and recently carry out variable speed control, thus, in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 is in best burnup band, also can keep actual engine speed is constant, the rotation change that can carry out the change that suppresses this actual engine speed suppresses variable speed control.
The driving-force control apparatus 300 related according to embodiments of the present invention discussed above, driving-force control apparatus 300 is by suppressing variable speed control in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 is carried out the rotation change of the change that suppresses engine speed in best burnup band, can in the deterioration that suppresses engine efficiency, suppress to follow inertia (rotatory inertia) loss in the rotation change of driving engine 10, can suppress deterioration and the inhibition of engine efficiency follows in the inertia loss of the rotation change of driving engine 10 simultaneously, thereby, the drive system that can improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.In addition, this driving-force control apparatus 300 suppresses variable speed control owing to whether carrying out rotation change in best burnup band according to the operating point of the target of driving engine 10, so, the operating point of target that can be based on driving engine 10 has predictably to be carried out rotation change and suppresses variable speed control, thereby, the drive system that can further improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.

Figure 12 means the summary pie graph of the vehicle that has been suitable for the related driving-force control apparatus of embodiments of the present invention 4, and Figure 13 is the diagram of circuit of the hysteresis amplitude setup control of the related driving-force control apparatus of explanation embodiments of the present invention 4.The related driving-force control apparatus of embodiment 4 is the driving-force control apparatus roughly the same formation related with embodiment 1, but possess set mechanism aspect the driving-force control apparatus related from embodiment 1 different.In addition,, for the common formation of the embodiment with above-mentioned, effect, effect, the repetitive description thereof will be omitted as far as possible, and mark identical Reference numeral.
The driving-force control apparatus 400 of present embodiment as shown in Figure 12, is provided with target control amount calculating part 110 as target control amount computing mechanism, as the engine control portion 120 of combustion engine control mechanism with as the transmission control portion 130 of speed changing control mechanism aspect concept of function.
And then, the driving-force control apparatus 400 of present embodiment, aspect concept of function, be provided with the hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 as set mechanism, this hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 state based on vehicle 1 is suitably set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha (with reference to Fig. 5), the further raising of the drive system that realizes thus vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.
Particularly, the state of hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 based on vehicle 1 set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.That is the state of, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 based on vehicle 1 can change regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.As described above, this regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha be take best burnup line L and is set as benchmark, and best burnup band X sets the region with respect to best burnup line L with this hysteresis amplitude alpha for.For this reason, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 is by changing hysteresis amplitude alpha by the state based on vehicle 1, and best burnup band X also can change by the state based on vehicle 1.
The hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 of present embodiment is based at least along with engine speed change, the loss of generation and the engine efficiency (efficiency of internal combustion engine) of driving engine 10 are set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.This hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 comprises supposition loss calculating part 441, actual loss calculating part 442, engine efficiency calculating part 443 and comparison determination portion 444 and forms.
Suppose that loss calculating part 441 calculates in the situation that the operating point of supposition driving engine 10 is on best burnup line L, the operating point on the supposition best burnup line L best with engine efficiency makes driving engine 10 carry out following in the loss of the change of engine speed under operating condition.Said this followed in the loss of the change of engine speed, typically refers to the power waste of following inertia (rotatory inertia) the torque part changing in the rotation of driving engine 10.
Suppose that the operating point of loss calculating part 441 calculation assumption driving engines 10 is positioned at the engine speed of the supposition in the situation on best burnup line L, calculate the following in the rotation change of the supposition of driving engine 10, the i.e. summation of the power waste of the inertia torque of the change of the engine speed of supposition part of predefined specified time limit, using it as supposition loss amount.Follow the power waste of the inertia torque part changing in the rotation of driving engine 10 to calculate by various known methods, such as calculating based on rotatory inertia quality and each velocity variations etc.Suppose that loss calculating part 441 for example will calculate as supposition loss amount with following in the summation of fuel discharge corresponding to the power waste of the inertia torque part of the rotation change of driving engine 10 of predefined specified time limit.
In addition, at this, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 is as making to suppose that loss amount or actual loss amount described later, engine efficiency are illustrated with the consistent mode of calculating of system of units of fuel discharge, but be not limited to this, as long as suitably they are unified into the unit that can mutually compare.
The operating point place of the driving engine 10 that 442 calculating of actual loss calculating part are actual follows in the loss of the change of engine speed, i.e. the power waste of inertia (rotatory inertia) torque part.Actual loss calculating part 442 calculates and above-mentioned same following in the summation of the power waste of the inertia torque part of the change of the actual engine speed of driving engine 10, using it as actual loss amount in predefined specified time limit.Actual loss calculating part 442 for example will calculate as actual loss amount with following in the summation of fuel discharge corresponding to the power waste of the inertia torque part of the actual rotation change of driving engine 10 of predefined specified time limit.
Suppose the absolute value of the difference of the actual loss amount that the supposition loss amount that calculates of loss calculating part 441 and actual loss calculating part 442 calculate, be with respect in the situation that supposition with the operating point running engine 10 on best burnup line L follow inertia (rotatory inertia) loss in the change of engine speed, in the situation that carry out change that rotation change inhibition variable speed control carries out to suppress engine speed above-mentioned predefined specified time limit the actual inertia (rotatory inertia) having curbed lose corresponding value.
In addition, suppose that loss calculating part 441, actual loss calculating part 442, except following the power waste of the inertia torque part changing in the rotation of driving engine 10, can also also be included in the summation (summation of the fuel discharge corresponding with power waste) of the power waste of following the speed change of carrying out in change-speed box 3 of above-mentioned predefined specified time limit respectively in supposition loss amount, actual loss amount and calculate.Namely, regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha also can be set accordingly with the power waste of speed change that is accompanied by the change-speed box 3 formed engine rotary speeds of the rotation output of accepting the driving engine 10 be passed in hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440.Said following in the power waste of change-speed box 3 formed speed changes, refers to the power waste of following in the gear shifting operation of change-speed box 3, is the power waste producing corresponding to the size etc. of hydraulic pressure of working oil that is fed into the various hydraulic pressure chambers etc. of change-speed box 3.In this case, suppose loss calculating part 441, actual loss calculating part 442, such as if by the hydraulic pressure of working oil or to the operative conditions such as input torque of change-speed box 3 and with follow in the corresponding relation of fuel discharge corresponding to the power waste of speed change mapping graph in advance, corresponding to the detection signal of various sensors, according to this mapping graph, suitably calculate and follow in fuel discharge corresponding to the power waste of speed change.In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 is by being calculated following in the summation of the power waste of the speed change of change-speed box 3 is included in respectively supposition loss amount, actual loss amount of specified time limit by supposition loss calculating part 441, actual loss calculating part 442, can more suitably set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha by the state based on vehicle 1,, can more suitably set best burnup band X by the state based on vehicle 1, thereby, the drive system that result can further improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.
The engine efficiency of engine efficiency calculating part 443 calculation engines 10.Further, engine efficiency calculating part 443, calculation assumption situation on best burnup line L of the operating point of driving engine 10, supposed the actual engine efficiency at the engine efficiency of the supposition in the situation of the operating point running engine 10 on the best burnup line L best with engine efficiency and the operating point place of actual driving engine 10, calculate the poor of the engine efficiency of this supposition and actual engine efficiency.And the summation of the difference of the engine efficiency of 443 calculating of engine efficiency calculating part and the above-mentioned same supposition in predefined specified time limit and actual engine efficiency, using it as engine efficiency deterioration amount.Engine efficiency calculating part 443, for example, calculate the summation of fuel discharge corresponding to the difference of the engine efficiency of the supposition with specified time limit and actual engine efficiency as engine efficiency deterioration amount.At this, this engine efficiency can calculate by various known methods, such as can based on according to engine speed and the fuel discharge that corresponding motor torque consumes with it etc. calculate, but be not limited to this.
The engine efficiency deterioration amount that this engine efficiency calculating part 443 calculates, be equivalent to with because of carry out rotation change suppress variable speed control with suppress the change of engine speed cause the operating point being offset from best burnup line L carry out actual engine efficiency in the situation of running engine 10, with respect to having supposed with the corresponding value of the deterioration of the engine efficiency in the situation of the operating point running engine 10 on best burnup line L.
And, the absolute value of the difference of the actual loss amount that the supposition loss amount that relatively determination portion 444 is calculated supposition loss calculating part 441 and actual loss calculating part 442 calculate, the engine efficiency deterioration amount of calculating with engine efficiency calculating part 443 compare, and according to comparative result, set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.Relatively determination portion 444 is in the situation that the absolute value ratio engine degradation in efficiency amount of the difference of supposition loss amount and actual loss amount is large, the amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind relatively increases and is set, on the other hand, in the situation that the absolute value of the difference of supposition loss amount and actual loss amount is below engine efficiency deterioration amount, the amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind relatively reduces and is set.Relatively determination portion 444 is for example in the situation that relatively increasing hysteresis amplitude alpha and setting, make this hysteresis amplitude alpha increase predefined specified amount, and in the situation that relatively reducing hysteresis amplitude alpha and setting, make this hysteresis amplitude alpha reduce predefined specified amount.
Namely, relatively determination portion 444 is in the situation that the absolute value of the difference of supposition loss amount and actual loss amount is greater than engine efficiency deterioration amount, , many in the relative change of deterioration of rotating the engine efficiency of change when suppressing inertia (rotatory inertia) loss that variable speed control obtains actual inhibitions and comparing the operating point running engine 10 to be offset from best burnup line L by execution, in the situation of the drive system that can improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole, the amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind relatively increases, expand best burnup band X, make to carry out the operation range expansion that rotation change suppresses variable speed control.On the other hand, relatively determination portion 444 is in the situation that the absolute value of the difference of supposition loss amount and actual loss amount is below engine efficiency deterioration amount,, in the situation that rotate change by execution, to suppress the deterioration of inertia (rotatory inertia) loss that variable speed control obtains actual the inhibitions engine efficiency while comparing the operating point running engine 10 to be offset from best burnup line L relatively few, the amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind relatively reduces, dwindle best burnup band X, the operation range of carrying out rotation change inhibition variable speed control is dwindled.
In other words, relatively determination portion 444 is by relatively supposing absolute value and the engine efficiency deterioration amount of the difference of loss amount and actual loss amount, can determine, even if be the efficiency on the whole of drive system that engine efficiency more or less worsens, also can improve when inertia (rotatory inertia) loss that suppresses to follow in the rotation change of driving engine 10 vehicle 1, even or allow to follow inertia (rotatory inertia) loss in the rotation change of driving engine 10, the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 when suppressing the deterioration of engine efficiency efficiency on the whole.And, relatively determination portion 444 is in the situation that the absolute value ratio engine degradation in efficiency amount of the difference of supposition loss amount and actual loss amount is large,, even if engine efficiency more or less worsens, in the situation that the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 while suppressing to follow inertia (rotatory inertia) loss in the rotation change of driving engine 10 efficiency on the whole, the amplitude alpha that makes as described above to lag behind relatively increases.On the other hand, relatively determination portion 444 is in the situation that the absolute value of the difference of supposition loss amount and actual loss amount is below engine efficiency deterioration amount,, even if allow to follow inertia (rotatory inertia) loss in the rotation change of driving engine 10, in the situation that the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 while suppressing the deterioration of engine efficiency efficiency on the whole, the amplitude alpha that makes as described above to lag behind relatively reduces.
In addition, even more or less worsen, rotating drive system that change suppresses also can to improve when variable speed control suppresses to follow inertia (rotatory inertia) loss in the rotation change of the driving engine 10 vehicle 1 such operative condition of efficiency on the whole by execution as engine efficiency, such as the acceleration that has chaufeur, operate operative condition that the variation frequency of formed accelerator open degree is higher etc.Even as allowing to follow inertia (rotatory inertia) loss in the rotation change of driving engine 10, the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 when suppressing the deterioration of the engine efficiency such operative condition of efficiency on the whole, such as the acceleration that has chaufeur, operate operative condition that the variation frequency of formed accelerator open degree is low etc.
And, form the operating point detection unit 112(of present embodiment of target control amount calculating part 110 with reference to Fig. 3) best burnup band X(corresponding to hysteresis amplitude alpha based on being set by the comparison determination portion 444 of hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 be as described above with reference to Fig. 5), judge that the operating point of driving engine 10 is whether in best burnup band X.Transmission control portion 130 suppresses variable speed control in the situation that the operating point of driving engine 10 in this best burnup band X, is carried out the rotation change of the change that suppresses engine speed as described above.
The driving-force control apparatus 400 forming is as described above the setting of the state based on vehicle 1 regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440, thereby, can more suitably set best burnup band X corresponding to the state of actual vehicle 1, so, the drive system that can further improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.
, the driving-force control apparatus 400 of present embodiment due to by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 based on following the loss of change and the engine efficiency of driving engine 10 in engine speed to set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha, so, can judge, even if be that engine efficiency more or less worsens, the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 when the inertia loss that suppresses to follow in the rotation change of driving engine 10 efficiency on the whole, even if also make to allow to follow the inertia loss in the rotation change of driving engine 10, the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 when the deterioration that suppresses engine efficiency efficiency on the whole, can set hysteresis amplitude alpha based on this result of determination.
For example, driving-force control apparatus 400 operates under the operative condition that the variation frequency of formed accelerator open degree is higher in the acceleration of chaufeur, exist the change of engine speed easily to become large, inertia loss easily becomes large tendency, and under these circumstances, because hysteresis amplitude alpha relatively increases, as the best burnup band X that carries out the operation range of rotation change inhibition variable speed control, expand, thereby, even if engine efficiency more or less worsens, but change to suppress incident inertia and lose by suppressing the rotation of driving engine 10, the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.In addition, in this case, by suppressing the rotation change of driving engine 10, can suppress engine noise, and, by suppressing inertia torque, can improve the propulsive effort of vehicle 1 with respect to the responsibility of the acceleration operation of chaufeur.
On the other hand, driving-force control apparatus 400 operates under the operative condition that the variation frequency of formed accelerator open degree is lower in the acceleration of chaufeur, exist the change of engine speed little, inertia loss self is few tendency just, thereby, under these circumstances, hysteresis amplitude alpha relatively reduces, as the best burnup band X that carries out the operation range of rotation change inhibition variable speed control, dwindle, so, even if allow to follow the inertia loss in the rotation change of driving engine 10, but by suppressing the deterioration of engine efficiency, the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.
Then, with reference to the diagram of circuit of Figure 13, to by dual-purpose, the hysteresis amplitude setup control as the ECU51 of the related driving-force control apparatus 400 of present embodiment describes.In addition, these control programs are carried out to the control cycle of tens of ms repeatedly by every several ms.
First, the supposition loss calculating part 441 of the formation hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 of driving-force control apparatus 400, calculation assumption the operating point of driving engine 10 be positioned at the situation of best burnup line L, in the situation that supposed the supposition loss amount A(S400 with the predefined specified time limit of the operating point running engine 10 on the best best burnup line L of engine efficiency).
Then, form the actual loss calculating part 442 of hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440, calculate with the following in the actual loss amount B(S402 of the change of actual engine speed of above-mentioned same predefined specified time limit).
Then, form the engine efficiency calculating part 443 of hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440, calculating is at the summation of the difference of the engine efficiency of the supposition with above-mentioned same predefined specified time limit and actual engine efficiency, calculation engine degradation in efficiency amount C(S404).
Then, form the comparison determination portion 444 of hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440, by at S400 by supposing the absolute value of the supposition loss amount A that calculates of loss calculating part 441 with the difference of the actual loss amount B being calculated by actual loss calculating part 442 at S402, following the engine efficiency deterioration amount C being calculated by engine efficiency calculating part 443 at S404 to compare, whether the absolute value of judging supposition loss amount A and the difference of actual loss amount B ratio engine degradation in efficiency amount C (S406) greatly.
Relatively determination portion 444 is in the situation that determine the absolute value ratio engine degradation in efficiency amount C large (S406:Yes(is) of the difference of supposition loss amount A and actual loss amount B), the amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind relatively increases, expand best burnup band X(S408), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.
Relatively determination portion 444 is in the situation that to determine the absolute value of the difference of supposition loss amount A and actual loss amount B be below engine efficiency deterioration amount C (S406:No(is no)), the amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind relatively reduces, dwindle best burnup band X and dwindle (S410), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.

And then the driving-force control apparatus 400 related according to embodiments of the present invention discussed above, possesses the hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 that state based on vehicle 1 is set regulation hysteresis amplitude.Therefore, driving-force control apparatus 400 is the setting of the state based on vehicle 1 regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440, so, can more suitably set in consistent manner best burnup band X with the state of actual vehicle 1, the drive system that therefore, can further improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.
And then, the driving-force control apparatus 400 related according to embodiments of the present invention discussed above, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 is based on following the loss of change and the engine efficiency of driving engine 10 in engine speed to set regulation hysteresis amplitude.Therefore, driving-force control apparatus 400 by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 440 based on following the loss of change and the engine efficiency of driving engine 10 in engine speed to set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha, thereby, can determine, even if be that engine efficiency more or less worsens, when suppress to follow in the rotation change of driving engine 10 inertia loss time also can improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole of drive system, even if or allow to follow the inertia loss in the rotation change of driving engine 10, the drive system that also can improve vehicle 1 when suppressing the deterioration of engine efficiency efficiency on the whole, can set hysteresis amplitude alpha based on this result of determination, thereby the drive system that can further improve vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole.

Figure 14 means the summary pie graph of the vehicle that has been suitable for the related driving-force control apparatus of embodiments of the present invention 5, and Figure 15 to Figure 22 is the diagram of circuit of the hysteresis amplitude setup control of the related driving-force control apparatus of explanation embodiments of the present invention 5.The related driving-force control apparatus of embodiment 5 is the driving-force control apparatus roughly the same formation related with embodiment 4, but the formation of the set mechanism driving-force control apparatus related from embodiment 4 is different.In addition,, for the common formation of the embodiment with above-mentioned, effect, effect, the repetitive description thereof will be omitted as far as possible, and mark identical Reference numeral.
The driving-force control apparatus 500 of present embodiment as shown in Figure 14, is provided with aspect concept of function: as the target control amount calculating part 110 of target control amount computing mechanism, as the engine control portion 120 of combustion engine control mechanism with as the transmission control portion 130 of speed changing control mechanism.
And then, the driving-force control apparatus 500 of present embodiment is provided with the hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 as set mechanism aspect concept of function, this hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 state based on vehicle 1 is suitably set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha (with reference to Fig. 5), the drive system that can improve thus vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole, but also can improve so-called driveability.
Particularly, the state of hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 based on vehicle 1 set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.That is, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 can change regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha by the state based on vehicle 1.Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 be by changing hysteresis amplitude alpha by the state based on vehicle 1, makes the state variation that best burnup band X also can be based on vehicle 1.
And, the hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 of present embodiment be configured to state based on as vehicle 1, such as the operative condition of vehicle 1, the motoring condition etc. that the running of vehicle 1 pointed to state, vehicle 1, set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.

Its result, driving-force control apparatus 500 in the situation that the amplitude of fluctuation of accelerator open degree be in specialized range during operative condition long, vehicle 1 be the state that approaches steady running state, by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind, relatively increased, expand and carry out the operation range that rotation change suppresses variable speed control, thus, can suppress energetically the rotation change of driving engine 10, thereby, can suppress the sensitivity change of engine speed, the drive system of raising vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole, and can improve driveability.
In addition, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is in the situation that set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha based on chaufeur to the running sensing state of vehicle 1, for example also can point to guess value according to the running of the detection signal based on various sensors comes chaufeur (for example to point to the running of vehicle 1, motion travel point to or burnup amount travel point to etc.) classify, set accordingly regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.
Particularly, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 for example also can be used as running and points to the distribution proportion of the propulsive effort that guess value realizes based on vehicle 1 and set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.In this case, the hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 for example detection signal based on various sensors obtains the propulsive effort that vehicle 1 is realized, often upgrade the distribution of the propulsive effort of realizing, the distribution proportion of propulsive effort that can be based on this realization changes regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.
In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 for example, shown in the diagram of circuit of the explanation hysteresis amplitude setup control of Figure 18, judges that whether the distribution proportion of the propulsive effort less than predefined specified value is than predefined regulation ratio many (S500d).Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is in the situation that to determine the distribution proportion of the propulsive effort less than specified value be (S500d:No(is no) below regulation ratio), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 in the situation that the distribution proportion that determines the propulsive effort less than specified value than regulation ratio many (S500d:Yes(is)),, in the situation that point to for the propulsive effort less than specified value is utilized more such running, distribution proportion corresponding to the propulsive effort less than specified value changes hysteresis amplitude alpha (S502d), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Now, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 relatively increases hysteresis amplitude alpha when the distribution proportion of the propulsive effort less than specified value is relatively more, expands best burnup band X, makes to carry out the operation range that rotation change suppresses variable speed control and expands.In other words, hysteresis amplitude alpha is relatively reduced in hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 when the distribution proportion of the propulsive effort less than specified value is relatively fewer.
Its result, driving-force control apparatus 500 is in the situation that be that the propulsive effort less than specified value pointed to by the such running of more utilization, by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind, relatively increased, expand and carry out the operation range that rotation change suppresses variable speed control, thus, can suppress energetically the rotation change of driving engine 10, thereby, can suppress the sensitivity change of engine speed, the drive system that has improved vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole, and can improve driveability.
In addition, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 also can be configured to, in the situation that the motoring condition based on vehicle 1 is set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha, such as the different kinds of roads information such as turning information of the block information of the speed limit information of the road travelling based on vehicle 1, road that vehicle 1 travels, road that vehicle 1 travels or comprise as the state of the ambient environment of the vehicle 1 of other vehicles of the thing that travels that travel in the place ahead of vehicle 1 and the range information of vehicle 1 etc. and set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.
In this case, driving-force control apparatus 500 also can connect for obtain the road information relevant to the state of the road of vehicle 1 driving process or with the mechanism of the associated vehicle communication information of the relation of other vehicles, such as connecting as shown in Figure 14 homing advice 550 or radar 551 etc.Homing advice 550 is equipped on vehicle 1, and the guided vehicle 1 of usining arrives regulation destination as basic function.Homing advice 550 for example utilizes GPS(global positioning system) or self-discipline navigation method determine especially the current location of vehicle 1, the enquiring vehicle 1 necessary road information (map, straight line path, turning, lifting slope, expressway, arteries of communication blockage, category of roads, speed limit etc.) etc. that travels, obtain the best route that leads to destination, for example, enterprising the working of display frame, toward the driving path of destination, guide.Homing advice 550 is connected with driving-force control apparatus 500, and various information is exported to driving-force control apparatus 500.Radar 551 for example and other vehicles between carry out vehicle communication, such as accepting vehicle communication information etc. from other vehicles.In addition, driving-force control apparatus 500 also can connect in-vehicle camera (not shown) that is equipped on vehicle 1 and can makes a video recording to the car of vehicle 1 etc. outward.
The speed limit information of the road also can travelling based on vehicle 1 in particularly, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 such as the GPS by homing advice 550 etc. obtains the current location information of vehicle 1, from the map data base of homing advice 550, obtain the road information of the road corresponding with this position, obtain for example, speed limit information as the relevant information of the speed limit with current the travelled road of vehicle 1 (, legal limit etc.).And hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 can change regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha based on this speed limit information.At this, the hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 also detection signal based on vehicle-wheel speed sensor 62 obtains the speed of a motor vehicle of current vehicle 1, can be based on changing regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha with the deviation of the corresponding speed limit of speed limit information and this current speed of a motor vehicle.
In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 for example shown in the diagram of circuit of the explanation hysteresis amplitude setup control of Figure 19, judges that whether deviation corresponding to the speed limit of speed limit information and the current speed of a motor vehicle is than predefined regulation deviation little (S500e).The deviation that hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is determining corresponding to the speed limit of speed limit information and the current speed of a motor vehicle is more than regulation deviation (S500e:No(is no)), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is in the situation that determine the deviation ratio regulation deviation little (S500e:Yes(is) corresponding to the speed limit of speed limit information and the current speed of a motor vehicle),, in the situation that can infer that near the acceleration and deceleration of the speed of a motor vehicle that vehicle 1 after having risen to speed limit require relatively few, deviation corresponding to speed limit and the current speed of a motor vehicle changes hysteresis amplitude alpha (S502e), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Now, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 more hour relatively increases hysteresis amplitude alpha when the deviation of speed limit and the current speed of a motor vehicle is relative, expands best burnup band X, makes to carry out the operation range expansion that rotation change suppresses variable speed control.In other words, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is relatively reduced hysteresis amplitude alpha when larger when the deviation of speed limit and the current speed of a motor vehicle is relative.
Its result, near the acceleration and deceleration of the speed of a motor vehicle that driving-force control apparatus 500 in the situation that can infer vehicle 1 after rising to speed limit require relatively few, by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind, relatively increase to expand and carry out the operation range that rotation change suppresses variable speed control, thus, can suppress energetically the rotation change of driving engine 10, thereby, can suppress the sensitivity change of engine speed, the drive system that has improved vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole, and can improve driveability.
The block information of the road also can travelling based on vehicle 1 in the configuration part of hysteresis amplitude in addition, 540 is set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 such as the GPS by homing advice 550 etc. obtains the current location information of vehicle 1, from the map data base of homing advice 550, obtain the road information of the road corresponding with this position, thereby obtain the block information of the conduct of the road that vehicle 1 is current travelled and the information of block dependency.And hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 can change regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha based on this block information.
In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 for example, shown in the diagram of circuit of the explanation hysteresis amplitude setup control of Figure 20, judges based on block information whether the road that vehicle 1 is current travelled stops up (S500f).Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is not to stop up time in the situation that (S500f:No(is no) determining based on block information), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is to determine based on block information be to stop up time in the situation that (S500f:Yes(is)), based on block information and corresponding to chocking-up degree, change hysteresis amplitude alpha (S502f), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Now, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 just relatively increases hysteresis amplitude alpha when chocking-up degree is higher, expands best burnup band X, and the operation range of carrying out rotation change inhibition variable speed control is expanded.In other words, hysteresis amplitude alpha is just relatively reduced in hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 when chocking-up degree is lower.
Its result, driving-force control apparatus 500 is in the situation that chocking-up degree is high, acceleration and deceleration repeatedly at short notice, have the change that engine speed easily occurs, by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind, relatively increase to expand and carry out the operation range that rotation change suppresses variable speed control, thus, can suppress energetically the rotation change of driving engine 10, thereby, can suppress the sensitivity change of engine speed, the drive system that has improved vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole, and can improve driveability.
Turning (detour) information of the road also can travelling based on vehicle 1 in the configuration part of hysteresis amplitude in addition, 540 is set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 such as the GPS by homing advice 550 etc. obtains the current location information of vehicle 1, from the map data base of homing advice 550, obtain the road information of the road corresponding with this position, obtain road and the turning information (detour) the relevant information of turning that vehicle 1 is current travelled.And hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 can change regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha based on this turning information.
In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 for example shown in the diagram of circuit of the explanation hysteresis amplitude setup control of Figure 21, based on turning information, judges that road that vehicle 1 is current travelled is whether before turning (S500g).Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 based on turning information, determine be not to turn before in the situation that (S500g:No(is no)), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 based on turning information, determine be turn before in the situation that (S500g:Yes(is)), based on turning information and corresponding to the curvature of turn (detour) etc., change hysteresis amplitude alpha (S502g), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Now, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 when turn curvature larger (sharp curve way) time relatively increase hysteresis amplitude alpha, expand best burnup band X, make to carry out the operation range expansion that rotation change suppresses variable speed control.In other words, hysteresis amplitude alpha more hour is relatively reduced when the curvature of turning in hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540.
Its result, driving-force control apparatus 500 is in the situation that return the state before the turning of the tendency of accelerating operation for existing easily by chaufeur, by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind, relatively increase to expand and carry out the operation range that rotation change suppresses variable speed control, thus, can suppress energetically the rotation change of driving engine 10, thereby, can suppress the sensitivity change of engine speed, suppress the rising of useless engine speed, the drive system of raising vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole, and can also improve driveability.
In addition, other vehicles that hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 also can be based on travelling in the place ahead of vehicle 1 and the range information of vehicle 1, be in other words that vehicle headway information is set regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is such as obtaining vehicle communication information from radar 551 grades, based on vehicle communication information, obtains the range information (vehicle headway information) with the information of the Range-based of other vehicles that travel in the place ahead of vehicle 1 and vehicle 1.And other vehicles that hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 can be based on travelling in the place ahead of this vehicle 1 and the range information of vehicle 1 change regulation hysteresis amplitude alpha.
In this case, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is for example shown in the diagram of circuit of the explanation hysteresis amplitude setup control of Figure 22, based on range information (vehicle communication information), judge other vehicles travel forwardly with the vehicle headway of vehicle 1 whether than predefined predetermined distance short (S500h).Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is determining vehicle headway longer than predetermined distance in the situation that (S500h:No(is no)), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 is determining vehicle headway shorter than predetermined distance in the situation that (S500h:Yes(is)), corresponding to range information, change hysteresis amplitude alpha (S502h), finish current control cycle, transfer to next control cycle.Now, hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540, when the vehicle headway based on range information more relatively increases hysteresis amplitude alpha, expands best burnup band X, and the operation range of carrying out rotation change inhibition variable speed control is expanded.In other words, hysteresis amplitude alpha is relatively reduced in hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 when the vehicle headway based on range information is longer.
Its result, other vehicles that driving-force control apparatus 500 is travelled forwardly and vehicle 1 the shorter situation of distance under, by hysteresis amplitude configuration part 540 amplitude alpha that makes to lag behind, relatively increased, expand and carry out the operation range that rotation change suppresses variable speed control, thus, can suppress energetically the rotation change of driving engine 10, thereby, can suppress the sensitivity change of engine speed, suppress the rising of useless engine speed, the drive system that has improved vehicle 1 efficiency on the whole, and can improve driveability.
